positionithe angle of the blade 39 may be adjusted to one of several angles because of the play between the bolts 36 or 37 and opening 45.- A screw 46 placed in the top of holding member 35 and over the top edgeof blade 39 acts as a stop and prevents the dislodging of. the bladev 39. The arm 18A adjacent the tapered portion 15 of the table 13 has an inclined guiding edge 47. At the upper end of the tapered portion 15 of the table 13 is a convex portion 48. This convex portion 48 is immediately adjacent feed roller 30 and may have slots 49. preferably constructed at right angles to theteeth 50 on feed In usethe operation of my invention is extremely simple and practical. Let us assume that we wish to repair a shoe. The shoemaker takes ahalf-sole to be-later applied to the shoe and. skives'it to the desired length. He places thehalf-sole on the shoe and marks where the old sole of the shoe is to be skived. He then takesthe old shoeand unloosens the front part of the worn-out sole. He need only unloosen up to the point where he has previously marked and desires the old sole to be skived. He then inserts the sole to beskived on table 13 and is guided by arm 18A. He then moves it up toward the feedroller, 30 and blade 39. The ratchet means is operated manually and operates the feed'roller so as to force the sole to be cut over the convex-portion 48 and against blade 39.

The convex portion 48 with its slots 49 acts topreventthe shoe from-twisting and turning andallows the feed'roller to place the sole fairly and squarely against the blade 39. Theblade 39 then skives the sole at thedesired point.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A skiving. machine comprising, a support, an inclined receiving member fixed to said support and adapted to hold a shoe having a sole to be skived,:a;hinged pressure'member, a feed- 7 ing member carried thereby, means for operating said feeding member, a cutting member, and a convex portion on said receiving member adjac'ent the feeding member having slots substantially at right angles to corrugations on said feeding member.
